MOSCAVIDE New large-scale temporary public art installation created especially for the soon-to-be Oriente Green Campus building complex. Curated and produced by @underdogs_gallery ⁠⁠⁠ - Located in Moscavide, the heart of eastern Lisbon, this artwork is made up of a series of sculptures taking the form of inspirational words. Chosen during a workshop involving community members from the Moscavide and Portela parish, and conducted by socio-cultural educator and artist #Maze , these words reflect the values and desires of the local population for this area of the city. The unveiling of the installation was accompanied by a performance with artistic direction by @festivaliminente , which included music and spoken word by @wako.kungo  and #Maze , along with contemporary circus by @danielseabras /@circocaotico .   The installation will be on view until the end of March 2023.  Location:  Oriente Green Campus building Av. de Moscavide 88 (between Lidl and the police station) 1885-086 Moscavide, Portugal Thank you so much to @paulinefoessel @suzannemarivoet @junalmeida @sbanazol @underdogs_gallery and @festivaliminente team, for all your dedication and for making this happen 🙌💙 - 📷: @anapierce  @francisca_capelo ⁠-⁠⁠⁠ #underdogs  #underdogsgallery  #urbanart  #publicart  #halfstudio  #iminente  #art  #contemporaryart  #moscavide  #portugal #lettering

TOGETHER Painting process of one of the wall sculptures we did for our solo show “A Journey” at @underdogs_gallery  on view until 18 March In this series of sculptures, we explored the concept of elements under construction, playing with the duality between deconstructed and reconstructed. Depending on one’s perspective, these pieces can look like they are falling apart or they can look like they are being built. The words we chose to explore are concepts that are never fully established and secured in our lives and need to be nurtured and built on all the time. ⁠- TOGETHER, 2023 3D resin printing, hand finished and painted with acrylic 46.5 x 11.6 x 12.7 cm Unique piece ⁠- Underdogs Gallery:⁠⁠⁠ Rua Fernando Palha, Armazém 56 – Lisbon, Portugal⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tuesday to Saturday, 2pm - 7pm⁠⁠ Free admission⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ Press and sales enquiries: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠ - #underdogs   #underdogsgallery  #exhibition  #contemporaryart  #soloshow  #halfstudio  #lettering  #signpainting   #lisbon  #sculpture

The mural "OPEN MIND" by Portuguese artist duo Halfstudio @halfstudiosigns is located at Hedelfingerstraße 84 in Stuttgart-Wangen. The artists about their work: „We still watch many closed-mind behaviors on our contemporary society, which unable us from social progression. This attitude promotes intolerance and contributes to polarized and divided communities. When we approach life with an open mind, we are more willing to embrace change, explore new possibilities, and challenge our preconceived notions.“ — Das Mural „OPEN MIND“ vom portugiesischen Künstlerduo Halfstudio @halfstudiosigns befindet sich in der Hedelfingerstraße 84 in Stuttgart-Wangen. Die Künstler*innen über ihre Arbeit: "Wir beobachten in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft immer noch viele rückwärtsgewandte Verhaltensweisen, die uns am gesellschaftlichen Fortschritt hindern. Diese Haltung fördert Intoleranz und trägt zu polarisierten und gespaltenen Gemeinschaften bei. Wenn wir dem Leben mit einem offenen Geist begegnen, sind wir eher bereit, uns auf Veränderungen einzulassen, neue Möglichkeiten zu erkunden und unsere vorgefassten Meinungen in Frage zu stellen."

Us and It What are the characteristics that separate humans from machines? To what extent does AI influence our decisions and conduct our lives? Titled Us and It, this series of digital artworks recognizes we shouldn’t keep discussing how close human beings are to machines. But how we differentiate ourselves from them. In a world where algorithms guide our actions, understanding AI’s limitations helps us appreciate our distinct qualities. In times where human relationships are mediated by technology, creative professionals and activities are substituted by robots, reflecting on our human values becomes paramount. Our capacity for empathy, moral judgment, and creativity remains uniquely human. We proposed ChatGPT a philosophical debate, asking it to enumerate the differences between Us and It. Without self-consciousness or existential questioning, the robot spelled out keywords: humans are “Unique,” “Conscious,” and “Intuitive,” while AI is “Boundless,” “Predictable,” and “Immutable.” HS: How are you feeling today? GPT: I don’t have feelings or emotions, so I don’t experience sensations or moods. I’m here to assist you with any questions or tasks you have. HS: Are you different from me? GPT: Yes, I am different. I am a digital AI without consciousness or emotions, while you are a biological human with feelings and self-awareness. HS: Do you think you are important? GPT: I don’t possess feelings or self-awareness, so I don’t have personal thoughts or beliefs about importance. My value lies in providing information and assistance to users like you. Technology has played an essential role in this series, from the digital artworks being made using 3D software to the interactions with ChatGPT. Nothing would exist, however, without the creative and critical human minds behind the computer. Digital artwork series created for the D-VERSE platform by @bancobpi

Video do processo @halfstudiosigns na 7ª Edição AIT ✨ "Em cada rosto igualdade" da música Grândola Vila Morena de Zeca Afonso. A frase transmite a ideia de que, apesar das diferenças externas entre as pessoas, todos merecem e devem ser tratados com igualdade, respeito e justiça. 📽️ @madebyvito
